Translations

You know, someone who adopts a child learns to love and cherish someone on such a level! They cherish someone who is not flesh and blood as if they were.

I was kind of doing one of my weird, mental brain exercises the other day.

I was looking at the people I would see on t.v. or at the store. I was asking myself silently. "Could I ever love that person? How about that lady? How about that worker? They are someone's child. They are someone's friend. To some other people, they get excited when that person maybe comes in the door. Maybe someone worries about their health."

It's pretty easy to imagine yourself cherishing someone who is good-looking, and "together". Is it as easy to love and cherish that disheveled person over in the corner with the b.o.? But someone does!
